The 2025 Scorecards launch today
Wondering how your local council’s doing around climate? With today’s launch of the 2025 Council Climate Action Scorecards, you can check their progress right now.
And because this is the second edition of Scorecards, you can check not just your council’s scores, but also how they compare with last time. Are they doing better or worse in each of the vital 93 areas for meeting the challenges of the climate crisis?
Today, you can:
- Search for your council by name
- See at a glance how their overall score compares with others across the UK, overall and within each section of activity
- Click through for an in-depth breakdown of every question and how they scored
- See at every level of the Scorecards how their performance compares with the 2023 assessment.
What next?
Great — so you’re up to speed on the areas where your council’s doing well on climate action, and where it could be doing better.
Start a conversation If you have thoughts about these, you can use the Scorecards to open up conversations with your local councillors — our website WriteToThem makes that super easy. (Want more data? Type your postcode into Local Intelligence Hub for lots more climate-related local info!)
Use Scorecards in your work If you’re a council climate officer or councillor yourself, we hope the Scorecards will show where you could be making improvements — and give you an idea of which other councils are doing well in those areas. You can even get in touch and swap notes! Take a look at our case studies to see how councils have been using Scorecards to learn and improve.
